switch case

[Alan Roberts]

In VB6 I could do the following

Select Case Right$(Text, 1)
Case "a","b"
do this
Case "c","d"
do this
Case else
do this
End Select
can I have multiple items per case in c#?

Thanks
Alan

Alan,

Yes, but you would have to do it differently:

switch (Text.Substring (Text.Length - 1, 1))
{
case "a":
case "b":
// Do something

break;

case "c":
case "d":
// Do something else.

break;

default:

// Default case.
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nicholas. A bit more cumbersome but should do the trick!

Thanks again

Slightly less cumbersome would be to use the indexer instead of
Substring - this only works for a single character, however. (Note the
single quotes instead of double quotes):

switch (Text[Text.Length-1])
{
case 'a':
case 'b':
// Do something
break;
case 'c':
case 'd':
// Do something else.
break;
default:
// Default case.
}
